Catch a wave that helps you let go.

Water Sports

In North Carolina, there’s a range of ways to make a splash. National Geographic named Wrightsville Beach one of the world’s 20 best surf towns for its appeal to beginners and pros alike. See the shore from a new perspective on a stand-up paddleboard or water skis, or get a lift from steady coastal winds on a kiteboard. Try whitewater rafting in the mountains, or canoeing or kayaking on a quiet city lake. Go scuba diving in the Graveyard of the Atlantic to discover sunken treasure, explore the Intracoastal Waterway by boat, or search for shells on our beaches.
